Don't run out of wire: how to deal with the port crisis

Global naval logistics are facing significant challenges, as evident in the recent crises in the Panama Canal and the Israeli port of Haifa. Here's an overview:

1) The Panama Canal Crisis • As already mentioned, severe drought has negatively impacted the Panama Canal, with a significant reduction in the volume of trade and an increase in crossing times.

2) The port of Haifa • The port of Haifa, Israel, was recently subjected to a missile attack by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq. This attack has highlighted the vulnerability of important logistics infrastructure and could have serious repercussions on the region's security and economy.

3) Congestion and delays at U.S. ports • The Panama Canal crisis also affected US ports, with a decrease in the volume of containers handled and a general state of instability in the logistics sector.

4) Congestion and delays at European ports • Similarly, the European logistics sector is facing a combination of excess inventory and unreliable shipping services, which is further complicating the logistics situation in the Eurozone.

In this context of uncertainty, Bottaro is implementing a proactive goods storage strategy to guarantee product availability and minimize the impacts on customers.

This "ready to sell" policy allows the company to maintain well-stocked warehouses in all territories, ready to meet the customers' needs.

Bottaro's scheduled shipments can be further enhanced by sharing consumption forecasts. This preventive approach will ensure a timely transfer of the material to foreign warehouses, reducing shipping times to local transfers only.
